Preface
Sir Winston Churchill has inspired generations with his words. He could have been talking about my inspiration to write this book for those who might benefit from it when he said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
Serving others by what you do and how you do it is a meaningful thing. It’s priceless when it’s done for your boss, who counts on those around him or her to do or be many of the things reflected here.
If you find a way to serve your boss better by reading this book, I hope the power of the example you set will take you down a new and brighter path in your chosen profession. Travel it well and enjoy the journey.
